Life on the Mississippi (1980)

David Knell: Sam Clemens

Quotes 

• Sam : Beauty's fine, Mr. Ealer, I'm all for it. But it just seems to me there's a mighty high discount on it along the Mississippi River.

  Ealer : Not a pilot going, boy, hasn't pondered all that, and doesn't sometimes wonder whether he's gained most or lost most by learning this trade.
